1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Your holster is way more important than you think it is. 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: It's just way more important than you think it is. 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: What look, and I get that. The holsters not the 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: sexy part of carrying firearms. All right, You want to 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: talk about your weapon and your ammunition. You want to 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: talk about your safety training. You want to talk about 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: how you did at the range. Oh, look at my groups. 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 1: I was doing these failure drills today, and all that 9 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: stuff is really important. I mean, really really important. I'm 10 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: not discounting that, but I've known so many people who 11 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: do all those things. They take all the necessary steps, 12 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: and then they carry with a holster they bought from 13 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: a big box hunting store that was made a thousand 14 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: at a time. Please don't put your life in one 15 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: of those holsters. You need to trust Northwest Retention Systems 16 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: because it's all custom made gear. It's the only thing 17 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: I carry around NW Retention dot Com. That's NW Retention 18 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: dot Com used to promo co Jesse gets you ten 19 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: percent off. This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is 20 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: the day before an election. I don't know if you've heard, 21 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: but it is time to calm things down. There's way 22 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: too much division out there, way too much, yo, People 23 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: sniping at each other, people making dire predictions for the 24 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: future of the nation. So let's talk about the Civil War. 25 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: We are not talking about the beginning of the Civil War. 26 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: In fact, we're going to fast forward all the way 27 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: through it. And you know I've done civil war stories before, 28 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: I will do them again. We're fast forwarding to the end. 29 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: In fact, by the time our story ends, the war 30 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: will pretty much end. And we have to cover a 31 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: couple of things right off the bat. The war looks 32 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: significantly different in the end than it did in the beginning. 33 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: And this is what I mean by different. Different in 34 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: so many ways, and depending on which side you're rooting for, 35 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: different in good ways, different in bad ways, and sometimes 36 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:49,839 Speaker 1: both for each In the beginning, Union Confederacy. Understand how 37 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: they viewed each other as well. The people in the North, 38 00:02:54,400 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: the people in the Union viewed the South as treasonous traders. 39 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: That is, and it's important to understand as you look 40 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: into the war like this, that is, that's a bad thing, 41 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: especially back then. Sadly, we are at a place in 42 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: the United States of America where I mean, yeah, treason, 43 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: being a trader is still not looked up to its 44 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: people are like, wow, that's great, but it's not the 45 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: end of the world. Back then, being called a trader, 46 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: accused of treason, that's a death penalty and high up people. 47 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: Grants himself said, I greatly admire Robert E. Lee. He 48 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: should be hanged. That is how people in the North 49 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: viewed people in the South. And I know, I've got 50 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: a ton of people in the North who listen to 51 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: my show, and you're probably cheering right now. Now let's 52 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: go shoes on the other foot. In the South, they 53 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: viewed the people of the North as tyrannically telling them 54 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: how to live their lives one and two, And this 55 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: is an important part of the story. They viewed people 56 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: of the North as invading their country. That is the 57 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: part so many people miss about this. You can argue 58 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: whether they were or what were all the I don't care. 59 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: Everybody has strong feel well, most people have strong feelings 60 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: about the Civil War still, and that's awesome. It's part 61 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: of what makes it so fascinating. It's that old. I mean, 62 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: nobody was alive then, who's alive now? And people will 63 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: still argue about it. I'll have angry emails tomorrow about 64 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: it and that's awesome. Good send them Jesse at Jesse 65 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: Kelly show dot com. I don't care, yell, let me 66 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: agree with me, it doesn't matter. I like that. It 67 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: creates passion and people creates passion in me. And I 68 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: know it's fashionable today. Everybody in the South was a Nazi, 69 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: all right, what you're a child, you are probably somebody 70 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: I won't deal with. Let's deal with the realities of 71 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: life and the complexities of life. Southerners thought Northerners were 72 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: invading their country, period, and because that was the feeling 73 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: each side had about the other, there was such a 74 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: sad hatred there. And I say sad hatred because I 75 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: like them all. I like them both, and the things 76 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: Americans did to other Americans for years out of hatred. Man, 77 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: it's heavy, it's heavy to think about that. And in 78 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: the beginning, and this plagued the North throughout. In the beginning, 79 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: the North was getting slapped around on the field of 80 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: battle quite a bit because the Norse leadership over all 81 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: throughout the war was frankly pathetic. That is not an 82 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: indictment on Ulysses s Grant, who was outstanding or great. 83 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: Ones like Sherman Sherman was the man. There were some 84 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: great Union generals, but in general, to overuse a word, 85 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: how it was running in the North, and you'll get 86 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: a stark example of this today was Congress was way 87 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: too involved. Many argue Lincoln was way too involved. The 88 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 1: generals are very similar to today. You have a few 89 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: good ones, you have a bunch of really crappy ones. 90 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: You have some who didn't want to be there. You 91 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: have many who were simply political appointees. The South did 92 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: not run their army that way. The South, they had 93 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: some generals. There is no comparison between Southern generals in 94 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: Northern generals. The sou the South generals were far superior 95 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: in World War two, far superior as far as quantity goes. 96 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: You can make arguments like people will say Sherman was 97 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: the best in the war. I'm not gonna argue that 98 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: might be true. But the South had good commanders and 99 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: lots of them, and the South command structure was much 100 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: more streamlined than the North. You go, and the Southern 101 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: generals were encouraged to be aggressive in attack, and the 102 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: North was constantly struggling with getting their generals to attack. 103 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: Go geez, please go kill somebody, And in the beginning 104 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: they were fairly evenly matched on the field of battle 105 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: as far as frontline supplies go. I say frontline supplies 106 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: because everybody knew the South simply did not have the 107 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: economy the resources to last the North did. Remember, the 108 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: south economy was one fifth the size of New York's. 109 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: Of only New York, that's how much more wealthy than 110 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: North was. So time was always going to be an 111 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: enemy to the South. And when I say frontline supplies, 112 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: I mean in the beginning, You're gonna put up your 113 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: twenty thousand guys and I'm gonna put up my twenty 114 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: thousand guys. And if the uniforms swapped, you wouldn't see 115 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: any different. Oh well, they pretty much have the same rifles, 116 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: same shoes, same bullet, same food, same oh nice, Okay, 117 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: But there were a bunch of supplies always sitting right 118 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: behind the northern guys. And that was not the case 119 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 1: for the Southern guys because the money simply wasn't there. Now, 120 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: as I said, that is a problem that gets worse 121 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: and worse and worse over time. Over time, you're having 122 00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: a hard time replenishing supplies over time. The day food 123 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: rations for your man go down and down and down. 124 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: If you were a Southerner who happened to live from 125 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: the beginning of the war to the end, you would 126 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: have lived through three square meals a day too, in 127 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: the end, existing on one pint of corn fly or 128 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: corn meal, and I believe it was half a pound 129 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: of bacon a day, starving. If you were a Southerner 130 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: in the beginning and live clear through the end, you 131 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: would have had the uniform, you would have had boots, 132 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: you would have had everything you needed. And in the 133 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: end there were guys fighting for the South in the 134 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: snow without footwear. On the South is breaking down, But 135 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: by eighteen sixty four there are a couple big things happening. 136 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: And remember, it's easy to forget about these things when 137 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: you and I talk about battles and wars, because it's 138 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: not the sexy fun part. Politics is such a big 139 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: part of even remember Caesar's invasion of Gaul last week, 140 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: Caesar doing this, Caesar doing that, there's a siege here, 141 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: this is or that. Politics was always a huge part 142 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: of it, and something Caesar always had to wrestle with 143 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: the Senate saying this, this guy's saying that, this guy's 144 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: doing this. I better maneuver my troops here because I 145 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: need a win. Because the public's thinking this. You see 146 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: what I mean. The Civil War eighteen sixty four is important. 147 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: Hang on, you're listening to the Jesse Kelly show. You 148 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 1: need an auto protection plan in this life, especially now, 149 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: because here's what's happened with vehicles. I mean, you talk 150 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: to your mechanic friends. I talk to my mechanic friends. 151 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 1: The vehicles now have so much advanced technology in them, 152 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: so much advanced computer gear in them, that these repairs 153 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: simply cost a fortune to make. It costs a fortune 154 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: to make a repair these days. You don't have that money. 155 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: I don't have that money laying around. So get an 156 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: auto protection plan. And if you're going to get one, 157 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: why not go to America's number one auto protection company. 158 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: Carshield car Shield offers a huge range of protection plans, 159 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: not one.

Eighteen sixty four, it was more than just, 167 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: you know, another year of the war. Eighteen sixty four, 168 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: there was a presidential election to be held in the 169 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: United States of America. And that was not a small 170 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: thing because the South, the South could I mean, this 171 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: is a big oversimplification, but the South could essentially win 172 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 1: the war if they could get Abraham Lincoln to lose. 173 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: Do you realize that, You realize that this war was 174 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: always divisive. But as wars do, they get more and 175 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: more divisive over time. Wars do not ever get more 176 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: popular as they go along. Never people want to win them. Yes, 177 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: sometimes you can smell the barn at the end. It's nice, 178 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: But think how many people have died by eighteen sixty 179 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: four in this country. Think how many people and how 180 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: many have been mangled, and understand what that means. You're 181 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: a Northerner, You're someone who lives in the North. Maybe 182 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: you're even somebody who voted for Abraham Lincoln last election. 183 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: I like Lincoln seems like a nice guy. I will 184 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: still barter slavery. So do I really cool stuff? I'm 185 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: voting for Abraham Lincoln, but you maybe you weren't hardcore. 186 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: I like abe, We'll see you next time. What if 187 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: what if your brother died in the war? What if 188 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: you lost a son, two sons, three sons in the war. 189 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: Where are you voting now? Where does that pained heart 190 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: vote now? What if you maybe you didn't die? What 191 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: if what if you don't have a right leg anymore? 192 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: What if you don't have an eye? Both eyes? You 193 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: see what I mean? And when you send those people, 194 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: not by the dozen, not by the hundred, by the thousand, 195 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: back into society up north, and then their relatives see them, 196 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: and then their relatives see them, and their relatives see them, 197 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: you see how you can get a whole lot less 198 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: popular really quickly. If you're president in the United States 199 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: of America eighteen sixty four was in doubt. Lincoln at 200 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: one point did not think he was going to win it, period, 201 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: And the South knew the guy running against Lincoln is 202 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: going to run on getting out of this war. Period. 203 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: Let him have the South. Isn't that wild to think about? 204 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: The South could have essentially won the war with the 205 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: presidential election. They needed Lincoln to lose, and they were 206 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: smart enough in the South to realize that. Now, by 207 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: the point of our story, Gettysburg's already happened lost lost, lost, 208 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: And by the point of our story, the South is 209 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: in serious supply trouble. They are almost done with the 210 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: whole attacking, invading thing. We'll get to that in a moment. 211 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: The North now has Ulysses s Grant in charge, and 212 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln put him in charge because he is sick 213 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: of northern generals who don't do anything. Ulysses s Grant 214 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: moves forward attacking. Oh here's Sherman, he's my right hand man. 215 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: Go attack and us. Ulysses s Grant has a very 216 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: very very smart strategy. I mean the Ulysses s Grant 217 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: is legit. His strategy was simply this. Obviously he wants 218 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: to win battles. I don't want to discount that. But 219 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: his strategy is like a five or six pronged attack 220 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: in different areas of the South. Send send commanders out, 221 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: capable commanders like Sherman. Some of them didn't turn out 222 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: to be capable, but send capable commanders out like Sherman. 223 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: You attack here, you attack in the southeast, you attack 224 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: in the North, you attack here. You essentially, because the 225 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: South doesn't have the manpower or the resources to defend 226 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: everywhere at this time, you put so much pressure on 227 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: them you try to break them. And this was the 228 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: part of the war that to this day creates major, 229 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: major bitterness in some people in the South because this 230 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: is the part of the war that got super personal. 231 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: Burning your farm, looting your town, burning down Atlanta, starving 232 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: your family to death because the North and Grant, to 233 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: his credit, Grant wasn't trying to Grant was not an 234 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: evil human being. Grant comes off, He's known to be 235 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:40,479 Speaker 1: very humane. He knew, I need to break the South 236 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: now to avoid more pain, a little pain now, or 237 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,959 Speaker 1: i should say a lot of pain now to prevent 238 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: prolonged pain. He was not doing this because he was 239 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: some sadist. But in the minds of people in the South, 240 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: this is when this war went from something they're fighting 241 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: up in Virginia to something they're fighting in my backyard. Now, 242 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: this is when it got bitter. It was always bitter, 243 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: but this is when it got super bitter because now 244 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: it's home and part of this pronged strategy of the 245 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: North was They wanted Richmond for obvious reasons. Richmond's huge, 246 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 1: Richmond's important, but they thought there was a better way 247 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: to take Richmond. I want you, and I'm going to 248 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: simplify this because there's it's way too. You can look 249 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: at maps will make it easier, probably, but everything important, 250 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: or at least mass quantities of things traveled by rail 251 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 1: at this time. Obviously you wanted horses. They were important. 252 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: Horses get you to and fro. If you're moving mass 253 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: quantities of food, AMMO, armies, medical supplies, you're moving them 254 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: by rail, which is why part of the campaign through 255 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: the South was tearing up the railroads. Sherman was famous 256 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: for it. They called him Sherman's neckties. He would have 257 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: the railcars or the rail lines all bent up and 258 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: destroyed so the South could no longer get supplies back 259 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: and forth. Richmond, while obviously just extremely important in and 260 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: of itself for obvious reasons. Richmond had a bunch of 261 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: trains running in and out of it, a bunch of 262 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: rail lines running in and out of it to supply 263 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: the capital city move armies around. Is important. But they 264 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: thought Richmond might be a little too hard of a target. 265 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: So south of Richmond there was another huge depot rail 266 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: place called Petersburg. Petersburg was not a big place back then, 267 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: and an ain't good big place today. However, if you 268 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: look at it at this time, it's just a spider 269 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: web of rail lines. I mean, it looked like think 270 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: of it like the famural artery. It's not sexy. It's 271 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: down in your leg, it's not up in your neck. 272 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: But if somebody cuts it, you were in deep trouble. 273 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: They decide they're going to go after peters Now, a 274 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: couple things before we dig into the actual battle. Remember 275 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 1: when I told you things had been changing over the years. 276 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: Things looked different at the end of this war than 277 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: they did at the beginning of this war. Wow, let's 278 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: pause here for a moment. You know about World War 279 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: One because you listen to my show World War one, 280 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 1: when when all of a sudden, armies were digging trenches 281 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: and just shooting each other's heads off. World War one, 282 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: when artillery indirect fire was being shot way up into 283 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: the air and landing down on people and mangling them. 284 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: World War one, when lines of troops would just charge 285 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: at in place, gunn musicians and get mowed down because 286 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: commanders didn't realize warfare's changed that World War One. And 287 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: when people talk about it, myself included, they often say 288 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: things like, well, this is all new stuff. Nobody could 289 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:24,479 Speaker 1: have known. The generals had no idea. Maybe that's not 290 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: totally accurate. You need a gold ira. You just have 291 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 1: to have a gold ira. And I'm not one of 292 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: these guys, as you know, I'm not one of these 293 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: guys who never takes risks. I have money in stocks 294 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 1: and bonds too, full disclosure, and I always will. I 295 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: just I believe in that. I don't believe in doing 296 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: drastic things. But a gold ira. It's part of how 297 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: you stay protected. It's part of how you stay protected 298 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: because look, when the market corrects itself, as we all 299 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: know what's going to because we have created a gigantic 300 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 1: bubble right now, when it corrects itself itself, that money 301 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: in stocks and bonds, it's going to take a hit, 302 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 1: to put it mildly. And when we're talking about hit, 303 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: let's let's think about your retirement right now. What if 304 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: I were to cut that in half? Yeah, go get 305 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: a gold Ira from gold Alliance. Go to gold Alliance 306 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: dot com, slash Jesse. It's gold Alliance dot com slash Jesse. 307 00:22:44,240 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: Go get your gold Ira and get it today. Maybe 308 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: I should stop saying things like the generals had no 309 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: way of knowing in World War One, because the Siege 310 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: of Petersburg that we're about to get into, and basically 311 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: this entire ending period of the Civil War was a 312 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: really great indication of what's to come. You know what 313 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 1: a siege mortar is. If you don't know what a 314 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: siege mortar is, go ahead in Google image search Civil 315 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:48,479 Speaker 1: War siege mortar look familiar at all? Yeah, that's an 316 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: artillery piece, indirect fire, firing it way up in the 317 00:23:53,320 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: air and coming down. The rifles. By the end of 318 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: the Civil War, especially in the North where they can 319 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: afford the best ones, rifles are now insanely more accurate 320 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: than they've ever been before. And we need to we 321 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: need to not to nerd out on gun stuff for 322 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: you for a moment, but just understand this. When it 323 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: comes to a rifle, what you know now is a 324 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: bullet a thing that goes out of a rifle. You 325 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: see inside of the barrel of a rifle. See, all 326 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: my gun guys are gonna be rolling their eyes at 327 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: this look. I've given some basics here. Inside the barrel 328 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: of a rifle, it essentially is lined so that bullet, 329 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: that little football looking bullet, will be spinning really fast 330 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: when it leaves. That spinning makes it absurdly more accurate 331 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: shoots farther. It's just that that is what you want. 332 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: There's a reason quarterbacks throw a football that way. The 333 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: ball is spinning quickly. Muskets, for most of their well 334 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 1: not most all of their history, until they figured it out, 335 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: for all of their history, was really just a ball. 336 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: It was just a ball. They'd explode some black powder 337 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 1: behind the ball and the ball would go out. Oftentimes 338 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: just a smooth bore, a smooth you know, smooth barrel, 339 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: and that is not an accurate weapon and certainly not 340 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: something you can shoot far. I mean some of these things, 341 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: like you'll see it in the movies about how he 342 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 1: just aimed really well and hit him all that day. Well, yes, 343 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: some people were better shots than others. But when you're 344 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: dealing with something like that, oftentimes you can aim perfectly 345 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: and it just won't work. It's not accurate. That was 346 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 1: not the case. By the end of the City of 347 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: a War, we now had rifling. They now had flat 348 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: out snipers, sharpshooters, shoot, they had gatlin guns, they had artillery, 349 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: and now we're running into things where men are charging 350 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: at each other. Tell me if this sounds familiar, repeatedly 351 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 1: charging at each other, but charging into the teeth of 352 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: accurate rifle fire and being mowed down by the thousand 353 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: and one incident right before the Siege of Petersburg and Grant, 354 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: they say Grant wept. At the end of this day 355 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: one incident, the Union guys kept charging some dug in 356 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: Southerners who had accurate rifles, and seven thousand Union guys died. 357 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,360 Speaker 1: And I think it was seven minutes. You have any 358 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: idea how many people do you know? What that looks like, 359 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: what that sounds like. That is a slaughter. And because 360 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: of that, trenches really came in a style. Trenches were 361 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: not invented at this point. Guys had been using trenches 362 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: and trenching for a long time, but trenches get a 363 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: whole lot more appointment or important when that kind of 364 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: death is always stalking around artillery accurate rifle fire. The 365 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 1: South knows, they know for a fact, the North is 366 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: coming down, the South is digging in setting up defenses 367 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: at all their key points they possibly can. But remember, 368 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: the South has a humongous manpower shortage. Right now, you 369 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: want to talk about politics and internal things, don't think 370 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: it was just everybody willing to die for the cause 371 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 1: in the South. The Southerners had a saying famously, the 372 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: saying was, this is a rich man's war and a 373 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: poor man's fight. And they were one hundred percent right. 374 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: What it was was a bunch of rich people politicians. 375 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: In fact, the rich plantation, slave owners and the politicians 376 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 1: all down to fight. We got to fight the North 377 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: and get rid of the North. But then they weren't 378 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 1: fighting all the guys, all the poor farmers who never 379 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: owned a slave, didn't have two nickels to run together. 380 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: Those were the guys constantly sent off to fight, and 381 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: that not to get off on alongside. Note here that 382 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: creates humongous amounts of bitterness in every society where it's 383 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: ever been tried. And I think it is criminal that 384 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 1: we have now moved into a system where we do 385 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: that here in the United States of America. Criminal. It 386 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: creates a level of bitterness. It can ruin a nation. 387 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: The leaders of a nation, your wealthy people, your powerful people, 388 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,719 Speaker 1: your politicians need to be at the front of the 389 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: army or their children do I have. I understand military 390 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: involvement as necessary. Sometimes sometimes you got to go kill 391 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: some bad people. I'm not some weird pacifist. I have 392 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: a lot. I want a lot less intervention than other people. 393 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: But I'm not some idiot pacifists. Sometimes you gotta go 394 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: put some people in the ground. I have huge problems 395 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: with a United States senator sending men to go die 396 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: when he never did and his kids never did. My 397 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: biggest problem with Mitt Romney is pretty much exactly that, 398 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: I'm a neo Khan. We have to be involved anywhere. 399 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: Send in troops up, let's send in the troops. We 400 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: better send in the troops. Mitt Romney and his nine 401 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: thousand kids have never found the recruiting office. Don't do that. 402 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: I hate that. If something is important enough, if you're 403 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: a president, senator, congressman, whatever it may be, and you 404 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: stand up and say this is so important it's Willie, 405 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: it is important enough that we should risk a American 406 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: lives for it, then risk yours or the life of 407 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: someone you care about it, and then you can send 408 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: someone else. Your kid has to go to. If you 409 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: don't you get what we have here in the South. 410 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: It's not just that they were going hungry. It's not 411 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: just that they didn't have ammunition. It's that all these 412 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: wealthy people, I mean, they're back on the plantation sipping 413 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: on sweet tea, yelling at a slave somewhere. I'm the 414 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: one out here getting shot in the face. They had problems, 415 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: they had recruiting problems, they had huge desertion problems. By now, 416 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: these guys are done with it. I can't eat, I 417 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: can't do anything. I haven't feed my family. Kevin't seen 418 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: my family. I'm out. Oh I brought up ammunition. Get 419 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: this weird stat. By this point in the war, a 420 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: Union soldier had a hundred rounds a day he could shoot. 421 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: A Southern soldier had fifteen. That is huge. So the 422 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: South is spread out. Manpower resources are thin, and at 423 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: Petersburg they only have three thousand dudes, and incomes the 424 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: Union Army with about sixteen thousand dudes, and it's their 425 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:36,479 Speaker 1: job to take Petersburg. But the Union Army was coming 426 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: fresh off a couple stinging losses to lead the South 427 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: was still handing out butt whippins. They were coming off 428 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: a couple of stinging losses like the one I mentioned 429 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: about that had Ulysses s Grant crying where they had 430 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: been charging men into the mow and getting them mowed down. 431 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: And not only if you're a general. Let's say you 432 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: screw up, or maybe you didn't even screw up, and 433 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: that's just the way the battle went, and a bunch 434 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: of men died, and that sucked. It was more than 435 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: just you having to work on your conscience for that 436 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: or blaming yourself. Remember when I said this was political. 437 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 1: Hang on, missed out, catch out, Jesse Kelly Show dot com. 438 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: Wake up and text, Text and eat, Text and catch 439 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: the bus, Text and miss your stop.

A 450 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: public service announcement brought to you by the National Highway 451 00:33:39,640 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 1: Traffic Safety Administration and the AD Council. The South is douging, 452 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,760 Speaker 1: but there ain't manuel and the North is coming fresh 453 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,359 Speaker 1: off a beating. And when you take beatings like that 454 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 1: in the North at this time, you're fired the next day. 455 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: The war has become so contentious, so heated politically, that 456 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: a general can go from having this long established career 457 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: to having one bad day out where he loses to 458 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: the South gone by fired. Which it's always a balance. Look, 459 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: it's a balance in any organization, government, company, whatever it 460 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: may be, it's a balance. If you're the boss, you 461 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: do have to have a balance. You have to have 462 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: your people know there are consequences for failure. There can 463 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: be dire consequences for failure. However, and I've seen this 464 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,720 Speaker 1: in private industry too before, where mistake you're fired. Mistake 465 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: you're fired, Mistake you're fired soon. What you've done is 466 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: you've created an environment where your people are paralyzed with 467 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: fear and they won't move, they can't be aggressive, they 468 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 1: can't make decisions because they think if it doesn't go right, 469 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: I can't take this risks risk risk. I can't take 470 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: any risks. I've got a wife, three kids at home. 471 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: I have to feed them. I can't risk my job. 472 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: So I'm not going to take a risk on behalf 473 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: of the company. Nope, you're gonna play it safe. The 474 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: North is running into that a lot by now. These generals, 475 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 1: they're political appointees. It's bad. So General Smith for the Union, 476 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: he charges into Petersburg. Man, what's crazy is on day 477 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 1: number one he charges into Petersburg, where I should say 478 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 1: the outskirts. He wants to take Petersburg that day. He 479 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 1: does not know how many men Beauregard, that's the general 480 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: of the South has in Petersburg. He charges in, and 481 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: he's working his way through in winning, and he gets 482 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 1: to a point where he's pretty much through all the 483 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: Southern defenses. The South just doesn't have the manpower for 484 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 1: this right now. And he stops because he begins to 485 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 1: get nervous that it's some kind of a trap and 486 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 1: the South is waiting there in number, trying to slaughter 487 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:55,280 Speaker 1: him as he comes in. He stops. His own troops 488 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: are freaking out, why are we stopping. We have to go. 489 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,839 Speaker 1: Let's finish it. It's right there. He stops on day 490 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: number one, pulls back in regroups. This was the moment 491 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 1: that Petersburg became a nightmare. It was like a nine 492 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: ten month nightmare. When it was done, he pulls back 493 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 1: and you lost all the momentum. And momentum is everything. 494 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: And now now the South knows where the Union wants 495 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: to attack, and they're hauling in reinforcements. The Unions hauling 496 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 1: in reinforcements. But Grant again, remember Grant is aggressive. Grant 497 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 1: did not want a siege of Petersburg. Remember he wants 498 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:50,280 Speaker 1: this multi pronged attack at every different place. And multi 499 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 1: pronged attacks do not do not involve prolonged sieges. I 500 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 1: need you to attack here and attack there. So Grant 501 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,840 Speaker 1: is breathing down the neck of his commanders. Attack, attack, attack, 502 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,760 Speaker 1: What are you doing? What are you doing? They attack again. 503 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 1: Now the South has reinforcements. The South repels them again. 504 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:20,439 Speaker 1: They keep attacking, they keep losing. Now we've settled in 505 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 1: for trench warfare. Both sides. Here's your World War one preview, 506 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,759 Speaker 1: have dug into trenches. This war. This battle started in 507 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 1: June it's hot. There are flies everywhere. Soon the rains come. 508 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: By the time this thing's done, the winter will come, 509 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 1: the snows coming. Guys are losing feet from frostbite. This 510 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 1: is your World War One trench warfare preview. Now we're 511 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 1: getting to the point where the Union is trying different 512 00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:02,760 Speaker 1: attacks and the troops are so demoralized that whole units 513 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 1: are refusing to attack, refusing orders. This is this is 514 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 1: going very poorly. The commanders are bad. Lee in an 515 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 1: attempt Roberty Lee, in an attempt to break this what 516 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 1: has become a siege. Send somebody towards Washington, d C. 517 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 1: With a bunch of troops. He didn't know that, did you. 518 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,359 Speaker 1: The South was marching on Washington. They were not under 519 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: the illusion they were going to be able to take Washington, DC. 520 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,879 Speaker 1: But what they were doing the South realized this really well. 521 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 1: They were excellent at this. What they were doing was, 522 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:45,360 Speaker 1: let's get them off our back. If we start threatening Washington, DC, 523 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 1: if we threaten the Crown Jewel, they're going to have 524 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: to pull people off us and go back. And they 525 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:56,720 Speaker 1: come up with a really cool plan. This happened again 526 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 1: in World War One several times. They come up with 527 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: a really cool plan the north does. Here's what we're 528 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 1: gonna do. We can't get through the southern lines, right, 529 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 1: So if we can't get through them, what if we 530 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: went under them? Hanga. One in three adults has pre diabetes. 531 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 1: One in three. That means it could be you, your 532 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:41,439 Speaker 1: football buddy, your fruitball buddy, or you your best man, 533 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: your worst man, you your dogwalker, your cat jugger. While 534 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 1: one in three adults has pre diabetes. With early diagnosis, 535 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,279 Speaker 1: pre diabetes can be reversed. Take the risk test at 536 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 1: do I have pre diabetes dot org? That's do I 537 00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 1: have pre diabetes dot org? Wait? Did they just say 538 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,319 Speaker 1: one in three adults has pre diabetes. That's thirty three 539 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 1: point three three three percent of adults. That means it 540 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,719 Speaker 1: could be me my boss or my boss's boss, or 541 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 1: me my favorite sister or my other sister. That's seven 542 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 1: members of my twenty one person romantic book club. Wait, 543 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 1: the one in three could be me my karaoke partner 544 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:23,319 Speaker 1: Carol or my karaoke enemy, Jeff. I'm going to take 545 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: the risk test that do I have pre diabetes dot org? 546 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,400 Speaker 1: Brought to you by the ad Council, and it's pre 547 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:46,720 Speaker 1: diabetes awareness partner is Union comes up with a plan, 548 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: a very very very cool plan in my opinion. They're 549 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,840 Speaker 1: going to dig a tunnel. They're going to mine a 550 00:41:54,960 --> 00:42:01,240 Speaker 1: tunnel underneath the Southern lines, set up bunch of explosives 551 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 1: in it, and blow a big hole in the Southern 552 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 1: lines that can charge through. The Southerners were not stupid, 553 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 1: and they certainly weren't deaf. They could see the mining operation. 554 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 1: They knew the North was trying it, but they dismissed 555 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,919 Speaker 1: it because they thought the mine was way too far. 556 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 1: They did not think the North would be able to 557 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:29,319 Speaker 1: do this. They're never gonna get here. Gets serious. The 558 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:35,360 Speaker 1: North starts and starts and starts, and remember, conditions aren't 559 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 1: getting better for the Southern troops as we go along. 560 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,879 Speaker 1: But the North actually finishes its mine and the day 561 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 1: has come to blow and go. They want to blow 562 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:53,479 Speaker 1: this mine up and then charge. Oh man, it didn't work. 563 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly returns next. This is the Jesse Kelly Show, Politics, sensitivities. 564 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 1: There's so much more that goes into battles and conflicts 565 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 1: than just bullets, bombs and bandages. You see, they're about 566 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,840 Speaker 1: to blow up this big crater and blow a hole 567 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 1: in the line, and so what are you And I think, well, okay, nice, 568 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,040 Speaker 1: send some troops through and then they'll be fine. Right, 569 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:34,480 Speaker 1: And conceptually you're right, I'm right. Who do you send through? Well, 570 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:39,520 Speaker 1: you should send you should send your best troops, okay, 571 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 1: best troops. What if what if the South has a 572 00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:48,000 Speaker 1: double line there? What if they're extra dug in? What 573 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 1: if you send your best troops through and they get 574 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 1: mowed down? Oh? Oh gosh, all right, never mind, send 575 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,480 Speaker 1: your worst troops. Okay. What if this part is so 576 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: important you need the best performance and you're sending in 577 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 1: the worst troops. What if you send them and they 578 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:14,800 Speaker 1: screw it up? What do you do with the black troops? 579 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,319 Speaker 1: By now? And this had been going on, but bye, 580 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 1: now there were entire units of black soldiers fighting for 581 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:34,240 Speaker 1: the Union. Understandably, the black units, though, were not highly 582 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:40,279 Speaker 1: regarded because everyone in the North was racist too. The 583 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 1: black units were obviously, they acquitted themselves very well, it 584 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,560 Speaker 1: should be noted during the Civil War, but they were 585 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:53,280 Speaker 1: not highly regarded. Grant at first had considered, why don't 586 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:57,400 Speaker 1: I send the black troops through first one? They're not 587 00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:01,239 Speaker 1: highly regarded, just in case they get more down. But 588 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 1: then Grant, who was, like I said, a very conscientious man, 589 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 1: said well, no, I can't send the black guys through, 590 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,440 Speaker 1: because if the black guys get mowed down, it's gonna 591 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,520 Speaker 1: look like I just sent the black guys through because 592 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 1: I didn't care about black people. You think these concerns 593 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 1: only exist today. You got another thing coming. Grant thought, 594 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,720 Speaker 1: he might get fired if you send these black troops 595 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,480 Speaker 1: through and they all get mowed down. Wait a minute, 596 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,799 Speaker 1: you took the black units we've been campaigning on and 597 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 1: you threw them into the teeth. Yeah, they're all dead now. Sorry, 598 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 1: So even deciding who's going through was a problem. Okay, 599 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,959 Speaker 1: they finally make their decisions. We're gonna send these guys through. 600 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:48,400 Speaker 1: The time has come. Let's blow the crater. It's easy 601 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:54,719 Speaker 1: to forget what an actual explosion is like if you've 602 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:58,200 Speaker 1: ever been in the vicinity of one. Not a video, 603 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:03,239 Speaker 1: not on the not in the movies, not something you 604 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:07,600 Speaker 1: heard about. If you have been anywhere in the vicinity 605 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:11,880 Speaker 1: of an explosion, you know what it's like. But even you, 606 00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:18,319 Speaker 1: even I forget over time, how breathtaking it can be, 607 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:23,439 Speaker 1: how it is you feel like the world is imploding 608 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 1: when you're in the presence of a big explosion. We 609 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,960 Speaker 1: had a couple of our own artillery shows land fairly 610 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,400 Speaker 1: close to us one time in Iraq. And what I 611 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,560 Speaker 1: say fairly close, I mean it's not like I was. 612 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,040 Speaker 1: It's not like I almost died. But I had all 613 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,600 Speaker 1: my guys in the ground with hands over our heads, 614 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,640 Speaker 1: and one of my staff sergeants had a piece of 615 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 1: shrapnel the size of a soda can land about two 616 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,600 Speaker 1: feet away from him, would have cut him in half. 617 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,799 Speaker 1: And we were in a city at a time, and 618 00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 1: all the sound when you're in a city bounces off 619 00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:02,200 Speaker 1: of everything. I will never forget yet, I'll never forget 620 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:08,160 Speaker 1: that feeling of, oh my gosh, it is. It is 621 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:13,279 Speaker 1: breathtaking when massive explosions happens. Maybe you've been in the 622 00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 1: vicinity of a demo of a building or something, whatever 623 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:20,440 Speaker 1: kind of massive explosion it is, it is something to behold. 624 00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:27,400 Speaker 1: It can break you, it can daze you. They set 625 00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:34,640 Speaker 1: off the mind. It does work. They instantly vaporize two 626 00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 1: hundreds some Southern soldiers. The crater is gigantic, but the 627 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 1: explosion is so much that here you are. You did 628 00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,960 Speaker 1: all this work. You blew a hole underneath the Southern line. 629 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:54,200 Speaker 1: It works perfectly, charged through the gap, but it takes 630 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:58,640 Speaker 1: it takes the North a minute to all right, true, okay, 631 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,879 Speaker 1: we have to attack down. My goodness, that was a lot. 632 00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,640 Speaker 1: It takes them a second to get themselves together. The 633 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:08,160 Speaker 1: coordination on the ground is an utter disaster. The men 634 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:13,040 Speaker 1: go charging up to the crater because they have to 635 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:17,359 Speaker 1: go through the crater. Apparently they stopped on the edge 636 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,840 Speaker 1: of the crater just to look at it, because they've 637 00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:24,440 Speaker 1: never seen anything like that before, as a fresh hole 638 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:28,040 Speaker 1: in the ground. Well, now to get through the line, 639 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 1: you have to run down into it and run across. 640 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:36,319 Speaker 1: Things are confusing, confusing. Now orders are going back and 641 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,840 Speaker 1: forth the wrong way. They charge down into the crater 642 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 1: and they kind of get stuck down there. They get confused. 643 00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,680 Speaker 1: They're running this way and that way. They're running into 644 00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:53,360 Speaker 1: Southern troops. Now, some who'd been wounded, some are running 645 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:59,879 Speaker 1: down there. The South realizes what's happening. They're scrambling. They're 646 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:06,240 Speaker 1: already starting to patch the gap. It takes the Union 647 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:11,120 Speaker 1: so long to unscrew themselves from this crater. The South 648 00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,600 Speaker 1: is not only to patch the gap in the line. 649 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:20,399 Speaker 1: They now aim cannon fire into the crater where there's 650 00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,919 Speaker 1: a bunch of Union troops just sitting there, and they 651 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:29,399 Speaker 1: get absolutely massacred. There are units of Black soldiers here 652 00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:36,360 Speaker 1: and they take it extremely hard. For an obvious reason, 653 00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:43,360 Speaker 1: they can't surrender. You do get a bunch of Union 654 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:47,200 Speaker 1: guys surrendering, and the conditions in the Southern prison camps 655 00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,359 Speaker 1: by now we're so bad. The Union guys probably ended 656 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:54,640 Speaker 1: up regretting that. But the Black troops you can't surrender. 657 00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:59,480 Speaker 1: The Southerners hated them, view them as the ones being traders. 658 00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,520 Speaker 1: Help sort that of you them as the ones being traders, 659 00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,680 Speaker 1: and the Black troops dang well knew they couldn't surrender. 660 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,000 Speaker 1: You gotta fight to the death, or you better get 661 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,720 Speaker 1: out of here, Jack.
